Recipes
(2022) Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burritos
Sweet potatoes in the box remind me we have lots and lots of sweet potato recipes at grassfedcow.com but I’m adding one more. Down below you’ll find Alexandra Stoddard’s recipe for Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burritos. Delicious filling and a way to use some of that beautiful lettuce as well.
(2022) Crustless Quiche Loaded with Kale
And yes, we have lots and lots of greens recipes, too, but here’s one more, Stoddard’s Crustless Quiche Loaded with Kale. I love anything that looks like a pie but doesn’t make me prepare a crust!
(2022) Spicy Spaghetti Squash with Shrimp
The return of spaghetti squash gives me the chance to offer one more recipe – Spicy Spaghetti Squash with Shrimp – from Southern Living. Sort of like shrimp and grits but with spaghetti squash.
(2022) Radish and Butter Spread
This compound butter recipe came from allrecipes.com.
(2022) Roasted Poblano Strips with Cream (Rajas a la Crema)
This week’s box included a small bag of hot peppers with jalapenos, habaneros, and poblanos. The heat in poblanos can vary – sometimes mild, sometimes hot. This recipe came my way from the Splendid Table and is originally from Rick Bayless’ cookbook More Mexican Everyday. I like to save up my poblanos until I have enough for this recipe, but you could also substitute some bell peppers. The recipe suggests using the rajas as part of a vegetarian taco filling. We did that, then enjoyed the remainder in a creamy chicken dish later in the week. In addition to vegetarian tacos, rajas are the perfect accompaniment to grilled meat or fish tacos, to steak or pork chops, or to grilled, sauteed, or broiled fish or chicken.
(2022) Sausage & New Potato Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette
And for the potatoes, I’m going to make this Sausage and New Potato Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette, also from The Cook’s Warehouse. These cooler evenings put me in the mood for dishes with smoked sausage. And it’s a chance to use some of those bountiful peppers from today’s box.
(2022) Tempura Fried Okra
For the okra, I’m going to make Tempura Fried Okra using this recipe from The Cook’s Warehouse. Our bag of okra isn’t a pound, but that’s ok.
(2022) Creamed Eggplant (Baba Ganouj)
Here’s a simple recipe for baba ghanoush from Madhur Jaffrey’s World Vegetarian. Anyone lacking inspiration for eggplants would benefit from simply reading this cookbook’s index of twenty-some eggplant recipes! Wishing I had more eggplants now.
(2022) Tomato Vinaigrette
With that one tomato, I’m going to try this Tomato Vinaigrette recipe from Emily Nunn of The Department of Salad. She adapted the recipe from “Williams-Sonoma Cooking at Home.” I’ve still got two red onions from past boxes, so I’ll put part of one to good use here.
